In your note, please remember: 1. gcin may get used a lot more in the future 2. I may write an install script for gcin myself, currently it's a painful two-time login headache. 3. Native in the options would be nice, even if not default. 4. I hypothesize being able to use gcin's flow (ported to another is ok) is a deal-breaker/deal-maker. With it, Taiwan could literally saturate with Ubuntu in 1.5 years and literally make headlines with how fast it happens. You read my prediction of the Taiwan market here first ;-) Love you all. <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 10/25/2016 09:58 PM, Gunnar Hjalmarsson wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:2537316e-47c7-a567-e8c8-bcf2d2eaef7e@ubuntu.com" type="cite">On 2016-10-24 19:43, Jesse Steele wrote: <blockquote type="cite">On 2016-10-24 13:21, Gunnar Hjalmarsson wrote: <blockquote type="cite">The Taiwan Chinese language support is included on an Ubuntu install if you in the installer select Traditional Chinese as the language.

This is what it would be: gcin worked in 15.10 Unity but hid under the app search fuzz, broke as of 16.04 Unity, still broke; worked in 16.04 GNOME, but GNOME's Chinese packages completely broke around October and have to install that long list manually. </blockquote> There may be flavor specific issues.
